Endangered Species

"The number of Americans calling themselves Republican has fallen to its lowest level in more than two-and-a-half years. Just 31.9% of American adults now say they're affiliated with the GOP. That's down from 37.2% in October 2004 and 34.5% at the beginning of 2006." There's something resolutely tragic about identifying yourself as a repug these days. I mean, think about the mindset of the guy who steadfastly refuses to pull the Bush/Cheney bumper sticker off his Taurus, as if determinately aligning himself with the Dimwit Dauphin and all he's fucked up is a mark of gritty pluck and spunk.
